Bill Smarter, Not Harder: Using Virtual Paralegal Time Reports to Maximize Your Profits
Whether you bill hourly or flat fee, every attorney needs to keep a close eye on time—and more importantly, how that time translates to revenue. At Cornerstone Paralegal Group, we provide experienced Florida-based virtual paralegal support to help you reduce overhead, lighten your caseload, and stay focused on high-level legal strategy. But our value doesn’t stop at task completion—we give you tools to bill smarter and earn more, starting with one simple feature: our weekly time reports.
The Problem: Guesswork in Billing
If you’re billing flat fees, it’s easy to lose track of how much time each matter actually consumes. And if you’re billing hourly, you risk undercharging for time-consuming administrative or drafting work you didn’t fully account for. Either way, you’re leaving money on the table—or risking client disputes over vague invoices.
Too many firms wait until the end of the month to pull together rough estimates or scramble to recreate what work was done and when. That kind of guesswork leads to inaccurate invoices, poor profitability, and billing anxiety.
Our Solution: Transparent, Weekly Hour Reports
At Cornerstone, we track every task completed by your virtual paralegal—by date, description, and time spent. Each week, we send you a clear, detailed report that breaks down:
What tasks were completed
How long each one took
Which client or case each task relates to
This lets you:
Easily pass those hours through to your clients
See where your cases are costing you more than expected
Track and compare flat fee vs. hourly profitability
Plan future fees with real data—not guesswork
Flat Fee Attorneys: Make Sure It Pays Off
Just because you charge a flat fee doesn’t mean your costs should be a mystery. Our time reports help you:
Determine if your flat fee structure is truly profitable
Adjust your rates for future matters based on actual work performed
Identify which types of cases consistently require more effort
In short, you’ll know exactly where your profit margin stands—and how to protect it.
Hourly Billing Attorneys: Make Every Minute Count
When you bill by the hour, accuracy is everything. Our weekly reports help you:
Justify every line item on your invoice
Minimize disputes with detailed descriptions
Reduce the time you spend reconstructing your month
Plus, you can delegate with confidence, knowing you have a clear paper trail to support your billing.
Build Trust with Clients (and Sleep Better Too)
Weekly time reports don’t just help your bottom line—they help your client relationships. You’ll:
Show transparency
Increase confidence in your work
Avoid sticker shock when clients receive invoices
When your clients trust your billing, they’re more likely to pay on time, refer others, and keep coming back.
Let’s Talk ROI: What Attorneys Are Saying
